International Cat Speculators Since 2006

I’m not suggesting that the international community will stage a Nazi-hunter style exercise, snatching US war criminals and dragging them back to face justice; rather, former members of the Bush administration would be wise to heed Philippe Sands warning: don’t travel. Otherwise, like Pinochet, they may find themselves facing justice for their crimes.

There’s idiots trying this now, but it seems it may be too much to hope that they stop their childish nonsense after Bush leaves office.

Can’t really go past the JammieWearingFool’s title on this one, or the video. (Sadly can’t embed here)

It’s obscene how the story has become how Gore lost due to Bush stealing the election, not how the Supreme Court stopped Gore’s attempt. That’s BDS for you – facts are not required.

“I say nonsense,” Scalia responds to Stahl’s observation that people say the Supreme Court’s decision in Gore v. Bush was based on politics and not justice. “Get over it. It’s so old by now. The principal issue in the case, whether the scheme that the Florida Supreme Court had put together violated the federal Constitution, that wasn’t even close. The vote was seven to two,” he says, referring to the Supreme Court’s decision that the Supreme Court of Florida’s method for recounting ballots was unconstitutional.

Furthermore, says the outspoken conservative justice, it was Al Gore who ultimately put the issue into the courts. “It was Al Gore who made it a judicial question…. We didn’t go looking for trouble. It was he who said, ‘I want this to be decided by the courts,‘” says Scalia. “What are we supposed to say — ‘Not important enough?'” he jokes.
